How do I know?

I lived in Phoenix as a young man during the eighties. I was arrested twice for unpaid parking tickets. I witnessed multiple incidents of brutality during those short stays.

I left, and I will never return. I moved to California, met my wife, ran a small business and retired. I raised a lawyer and a math teacher.

Phoenix was Hell for me. Glad I escaped.
